Now that Scholaric has grid printing, meaning I can print the schedule in grid format I love it. It is not complicated, once you figure out the shortcuts like using { } with the numbers inside to create a series of lessons. I can type Lesson {1-30}, select the days, and it automatically enters them. It took a little getting used to but once you get the basics, it is quick and easy for me. http://scholaric.com/

This is from the newsletter... New: Grid Printing Due to popular demand, you can now print the planning grid. Just go to the planning page, and use your regular print method, like the browser menu, to print it.

If you want to make a maraton of it then Autumn in my Heart is excellent. It is 16 hours though, ALOT of crying (at least for all of us) and it has subtitles. I do not like subtitles but this one is so good you won't even notice, even my dds enjoyed this. Winter Sonata was just as good once you get into a bit but it is 20 episodes. I am debating if I want to tackle another one of the Korean dramas in the series (Spring Waltz and Summer Scent I think are the titles). These are so good you won't be able to stop watching!

Oh how disappointing! I like to read the reviews there since it is so organized and I don't have to sift through alot of discussion, try to search old threads, or ask the same question that has already been asked dozens of times. I sure hope it is not gone. Maybe we could start a review section here for each product. This board is quite active and I am sure we could have some great reviews all nice and organized somewhere.

Outside of conventions, does Math-U-See ever have a sale? Thanks. Gina

I have not been able to get on there for several days and wondered if anyone could or is it just a few of us with computer issues? The website is www.homeschoolreviews.com . Thanks for testing it for me.:001_smile: Gina

Same here, but I am not sure what is wrong. I thought I had some weird virus since I had the same problem on homeschoolclassifieds too but that one is working again for me so it must be a problem on HSRs site. Thanks for posting/asking, I was curious too:001_smile:

I like to spread it on crackers or toast, however I like the taste of it so YMMV.

Interesting trick, I have never seen that before. I was taught the reverse operation method too. Thanks Veritaserum for explaining it. At least I know where they are going with it. I even taught this wrong the first time I explained it (I didn't read the lesson- that will teach me to think I know 4th grade math without a guide:tongue_smilie:). Thanks for the fast replies and clear explanation. I will definitely teach it, I am just not sure if we will use it consistently. It is always good to have a bag of tricks to draw from though. Gina

In level 402 there is process in which you have to find the sum of the numbers. Ex. 6,342 so 6+3+4+2=15 then 1+5=6 so the sum is 6. I don't recall ever doing this in math and wonder what the purpose is? It is appearing again in 403 with a shortcut of cancelling 9's (ex. 81,543 so you can cancel 8 and 1 since they total 9, and 5 and 4 so you are left with a sum of 3). I was skipping it since I don't see the point but now I am wondering if it will be relevant to some process down the road since it keeps coming up. Does anyone know why this is done and/or if it comes up again in later levels? Any insight is much appreciated. Gina

The 10% is in effect currently and will apply to the items once they are in your cart.

The best thing you can do is to encourage their interests and provide a well rounded education. Even if they hate certain subjects now give them as much as you can because someday they may need it when they figure out what they do want to do. When I graduated from high school I thought I knew what I wanted to do. After 1 quarter I realized it was not what I wanted to do and I changed majors nearly every quarter and took 6 years to graduate from college with a useless degree. Now, 20 years later I am back in school and I have alot of transfer credit. So even though I did not need Chemistry, public speaking, etc back then I am relieved to not have to take those now! You just don't know what the future holds so it is best to be prepared for anything.

Black Beauty, it even brought tears to my non-crying dd. I cry in just about any animal story though.

I worked in insurance and OB billing and this was my experience, though every plan is different. If you see the same doctor throughout a pregnancy they will usually bill at the time of delivery as a global billing, meaning that they do not bill each office visit individually to the insurance. This does not include labs and ultrasounds though. So often times the insurance will look at pre-existing unless the delivery is close to the effective date. However insurance has been known to consider pregnancy as pre-exisiting if you saw the doctor prior to the effective date of coverage. It is not based on when the pregnancy occurs but when you first were treated, i.e. saw a doctor/midwife or some documentation in a medical chart. If it has not been documented by a healthcare provider it is not pre-existing. I have seen women not go to the doctor until late in the pregnancy to avoid prex denials. It is sometimes hard to convenience the insurance you really did wait and you may have ot fight them on it. Some policies do not consider pregancy pre-existing so it just depends on the coverage. It can also depend on your state, my info is based on Ohio. I just wanted to point out that it can be excluded, I have seen it many times with group insurance and individual coverage. REgarding waiting periods, from what I recall, that does not count as pre-existing time periods. The purpose of pre-existing denials is to avoid people getting insurance only when they find out they will have major expenses. Pre-existing is the time prior to the effective date (usually date of permanent hire), so although there is a waiting period with no coverage you have insurance so to speak, it just doesn't cover anything. Congratulations and I hope your husband finds a permanent position with full coverage:001_smile:

I had a tetanus shot 3 1/2 weeks ago, actually it was DTaP, and I am still unable to lift my arm if my elbow is bent. I can lift it just fine if my arm is straight and it moves without pain if I use the other arm to move it but when I try to lift it on its own I have sharp pain and it just won't move. I cannot put weight on it and it is keeping me up at night. What could have gone wrong? I have to go back in about a week for another Hep B shot so I will ask the nurse then if it is still persisting. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what was the outcome? Thanks. Gina
